Stephane Javelle discovered IC 77 = J. 1-41, along with IC 80 on 31 Aug 1892. Harold Corwin notes that Javelle's positions are unambiguous although MCG misidentified IC 80 (a double galaxy) as IC 77.

400/500mm - 18" (11/22/03): extremely faint and small, round, 10" diameter. Only visible intermittently. Located just 2' SW of IC 80 in AGC 151.
